If you are planning to take the ACT, then you have probably thought about your different review options. 51Թ can get you started with a Los Angeles ACT course designed to have the elements that can help you reach for your ACT score goals.
The ACT is a standardized test used by colleges and universities in making admission decisions. It measures what the student has learned in high school and determines their preparedness for college-level work. Performing well on your ACT is not only about being able to proceed to higher education but also - and more importantly - having the confidence to plan your future career. Many times, students from high schools in Los Angeles such as Granada Hills Charter High School and Palisades Charter High School elevate their higher education plans upon seeing the results of their ACT.
In preparing for such a life-changing test, proper guidance and training are necessary to help you navigate the test easier and perform at your best on test day. A Los Angeles ACT class from 51Թ can provide you the insights you need for both the content and strategies in answering the test.
What Could a Los Angeles ACT course help me review?
The ACT is made up of four multiple-choice test sections: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science. The ACT Plus Writing has all four sections plus an optional Essay. Students who take the ACT will be given 2 hours and 55 minutes to finish it, while those who choose the ACT Plus Writing have 3 hours and 35 minutes. Both tests are administered without breaks.
In your Los Angeles ACT class, you will review each test section closely with highly trained academic instructors who can help you gain the wisdom and skills you need to perform at the best of your abilities when answering the test. Let's discuss in detail the four test sections of the ACT.
For the ACT English section, you will need to answer 75 questions in 45 minutes. These questions measure the test taker's understanding of English including sentence structure, proper punctuation, grammar, and usage, just to name a few. In this section, you will have to think like a writer or editor who makes decisions regarding revisions and overall cohesion, style, and tone of the language.
Meanwhile, the Science section has 40 questions that you will need to complete in 35 minutes. These questions are meant to assess the student's interpretation, analysis, evaluation, reasoning, and problem-solving skills. The following subjects that you will be tested on include physics, biology, chemistry, and Earth/space sciences. Analyzing scientific data and using the scientific method are just some of the key concepts you need to review to perform well in this section.
In the Mathematics section, there are 60 questions that you need to answer in 60 minutes. The questions measure your math skills at a level that is typically acquired in courses up to the beginning of grade 12, and the materials used for the assessment cover areas that are prerequisites for entry-level math courses in college. For this section, you will need to have a grasp of basic formulas and computational skills. The subjects that are included in the test are pre-algebra, elementary and intermediate algebra, coordinate and plane geometry, and trigonometry.
Finally, for the Reading section, you need to finish 40 questions in 35 minutes. The questions for this section are passage-based questions meant to assess the test taker's reading comprehension. Passages are chosen based on commonly encountered situations in the first-year college curricula. For you to do well in this test, you will need to review concepts such as identifying central ideas and themes and making connections between different texts. You will also need to review how to summarize ideas.
How does a Los Angeles ACT course help me prepare?
When it comes to reviewing and preparing for the ACT, time is of the essence. Starting early with your ACT course will allow you to cover more areas of the preparation process in detail. For most students, three months is the average review period, but there are also test takers who allot six months for their preparation.
With this in mind, 51Թ has designed ACT courses to fit the desired review periods of high school students. Depending on your preference, you can enroll in 2-week or 4-week courses that all have multiple sections. New sections start weekly, so you can always find one that suits your busy schedule.
Moreover, courses for the ACT meet via virtual classrooms for the ultimate convenience of the students. You can study in the comfort of your bedroom or living room and don't need to worry about commuting. In these online lessons, you will join other students in a collaborative learning environment facilitated by an expert instructor. We have a rigorous process when it comes to evaluating and vetting academic instructors and we make sure that they are not only highly qualified to teach their assigned subjects but also are effective communicators.

...I helped students ages 3-17 with math ranging from basic arithmetic to pre-calculus. My favorite math topic is algebra, particularly because of its usefulness in solving real-world word problems. In addition to mathematics, I find joy in teaching/elucidating Shakespeare to high-school students. As a classically trained actor, I find it fun to tackle Shakespeare’s dense texts from a performance and character-driven perspective. In my spare time, I enjoy vegan baking and roller-blading.
